MAGAZINE-PIPE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 8, 1908.

Application filed January 6, 1908. Serial No. 409,400.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, IRVING WV. STEVENS, citizen of the United States, residing at I-Ienry, in the county of Marshall and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Magazine-Pipes; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in tobacco pipes.

The object of the invention is to provide a pipe with a receptacle or magazine for tobacco.

A further object is to provide a receptacle for tobacco and combine therewith means for discharging the tobacco into the bowl of the Jlo the end that my invention may be understood I have provided the accompanying drawing in which Figure l is a vertical longitudinal section of the pipe. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same. Fig. 3 is a transverse section on line X X, Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a transverse section of part of the pipe showing a lid or cover raised over its hinge.

A indicates the bowl of the pipe. Connected with its interior is a passage B, formed in an extension C of the pipe, which communicates with a vertical passage D in said extension C. This extension is provided with a containing space E in which tobacco is to be stored, its top being flush with the top of the pipe bowl. It is closed by means of a lid, or cover, F which, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is hinged to the side as at G and preferably has a lip H which overlaps `the sides and one end of the magazine and is provided with means for holding it shut, as for instance, by means of a notch J in the side of the extension C and a projection K on one of the lips to enter said notch; the spring of the lip, or Hangs, holding said projection in the notch. The end of the lid at the bowl A is cutout as at L to leave the opening of the bowl free but which is dethe passage in the stem communicating with the vertical passage, already described, and thence with the pipe bowl through the passage B.

In the wall of the bowl A and communieating with the receptacle or magazine E is the said magazine, is a plunger R supported from the lid F. Said lid has a slot indicated by S which is covered by a slide T. This slide carries a finger piece or button U, and depending from said slide through the slot are two members V attached to and carrying the. plunger R and by which the latter is suspended in a horizontal position and also by which it can be shifted in the direction of itsV length.

Located in the magazine E to move vertically therein is a horizontal plate W beneath which is a spring 2 constantly tending to raise the plate. The magazine is filled by opening the lid F and pouring the tobacco upon the plate WV which is held down by the linger until it is full of tobacco. When the magazine is full the lid is closed and held down against the pressure of the spring by means of the catch `K or any other suitable form of lock that may be provided. The slot S is always covered by the slide T and the cover F ts the magazine as snugly as is practicable so that the moisture in the tobacco cannot escape. The normal position of the plunger is within and filling the aperture Q, so that moisture cannot pass through said aperture. When it is desired to fill'the pipe bowl the plunger is drawn backward in the direction of the stein N by means of the knob U which allows the tobacco to getV between its end and the aperture Q. Then by pushing the plunger toward the aperture the tobacco is pushed through it into the bowl. A number of strokes of the plunger backward and forward will result in filling the bowl with tobacco to the desired height.

As the tobacco is removed from the magazine the spring 2, constantly tending to raise the plate W, as already stated, will keep tobacco always raised in .the vicinity of the plunger and against the lid F so the plunger can eject it. Evidently means may be employed for positively holding the plunger in its normal position within the aperture Q, if desired.

By extending the passages B and D around the magazine in the manner shown a long stem and consequently a large cooling area is provided. Near the juncture of the passages their ends extend through the wall of the portion C and each passage is closed;

by plugs or screws 3 and t, the removal of which permits said passage to be readily cleaned by the insertion of a suitable cleaning device for keeping them free of moisture and nicotin.

The magazine is preferably constructed of light wood while the bowl is constructed of a harder sort, such as the usual brier or similar wood, or said magazine may be made of aluminum which can be attached to the brier wood bowl, the purpose in any event being. to make the pipe so as to weigh no more than those now in use.

In constructing a pipe with a magazine it is the intention that the pipe may be as convenient as possible in that it may be filled several times from said magazine with-V out necessitating the use of a tobacco pouch or other receptacle usually carried separate from the pipe. It isvevid'ent that other constructions may be readily contrived as it is not my purpose to be confined necessarily to what is shown and described, and in fact the plunger may be eliminated and the aperture Q made sufficiently large in order that the pipe may be tilted so that the tobacco may fall from. the magazine into the bowl assisted by shaking or by tapping or jarring the pipe.

Having described my invention, I claim:

l. The combination with the bowl off a tobacco pipe, of a tobacco storage receptacle adjacent thereto, said receptacle having means of communication near its topwith the said bowl.

2. In a tobaccok pipeY the combination of bowl having an aperture near the top thereof, a tobacco storage receptacle adjacent to said bowl and with the top of'which the aperture communicates, and a closure for. the said receptacle.

3. In a tobacco pipe, the combination of a bowl having an aperture near the topithereof, a tobacco storage receptacle adjacent to said bowl to communicate with the latter through its said aperture, meanstending to raise the contents of the receptacle tow-ard the aperture, anda closure for said receptacle. n

et. In a pipe, a receptacle for the Astorage of tobacco, a lid for the receptacle, and means of communication between the receptacle vand the bowlv of the pipe, and means for raising the tobacco to the place of such communication.

5. A pipe havingy a receptacle for the storage of tobacco, means of communication between the receptacle and the'topoff the bowl of the pipe for the passage of tobacco from bottom of the receptacle constantly tendingV to hold the tobacco in the vicinity of the place of communication.

7. A pipe having a receptacle for the storageof tobacco, a: hd for the'rcceptacle, there being an aperture through the bowl of the piper connecting the latter with the receptacle, and means in the'bottom of the receptacle constantly tending to hold the tobacco in the vicinity of the means of' communication.

S. A pipe having a receptacle for thestorage of tobacco, a closure for the receptacle for retaining the moisture in the tobacco and retaining the tobacco A in said receptacle, means of communication between the receptacle and the bowl of the pipe, means constantly tending to force the tobacco into the vicinity of the place of communication, and a device within the receptacle for positively carrying the tobacco from the receptacle into the bowl of the pipe.

9. The bowl and stem of a pipe, there being a passage connected with the bowl, there also being a passage connected with the stem, said passages extending substantially at right angles to one another, each said passage opening through the wall' of the pipe, and means for closing said passages for the purposes set forth.

L 10. In a tobacco pipe,- the combination with its bowl, of a tobacco receptacle adjacent lthereto and communicating near its top withpthe bowl, there being an aperture for such communication, a mouth piece for the pipe, there being a passage by which the said mouth piece communicates withthe bowl, the said receptacle having a position between the passage and the bowl, said passageextending downward beneath said receptacle substantially as shown.

ll. In a tobacco pipe, its bowl, a month piece communicating with said bowl, there being-'a passage for such communication, a tobacco receptacle interposed between the passage and the bowl substantially in the manner shown, and means at substantially the middle of the length ofv the passage by Ywhich to admit of access to the said passage.
